Feeling positive about the economy? Michael Snyder has ten reasons to change your mind:
Have you ever seen a disaster movie that is so bad that it is actually good? Well, that is exactly what Syfy’s new television movie entitled Sharknado is. In the movie, wild weather patterns actually cause man-eating sharks to come flying out of the sky. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, and it is. You can view the trailer for the movie right here. Unfortunately, we are witnessing something just as ridiculous in the real world right now. In the United States, the mainstream media is breathlessly proclaiming that the U.S. economy is in great shape because job growth is “accelerating” (even though we actually lost 240,000 full-time jobs last month) and because the U.S. stock market set new all-time highs this week. The mainstream media seems to be absolutely oblivious to all of the financial storm clouds that are gathering on the horizon. The conditions for a “perfect storm” are rapidly developing, and by the time this is all over we may be wishing that flying sharks were all that we had to deal with. The following are 10 reasons why the global economy is about to experience its own version of Sharknado…
#1 The financial situation in Portugal continues to deteriorate thanks to an emerging political crisis. […]
#2 The economic depression in Greece continues to deepen, and it is being reported that Greece will not even come close to hitting the austerity targets that it was supposed to hit this year […]
#3 The economic crisis in the third largest country in the eurozone, Italy, has taken another turn for the worse. […]
#4 There are rumors that some of the biggest banks in the world are in very serious trouble. […]
#5 Just before the financial crisis of 2008, the price of oil spiked dramatically. […]
#6 Mortgage rates are absolutely skyrocketing right now […]
#7 This upcoming corporate earnings season is shaping up to be an extremely disappointing one. […]
#8 U.S. stocks are massively overextended right now. […]
#9 Rapidly rising interest rates are causing the bond market to begin to come apart at the seams. […]
#10 Rapidly rising interest rates could cause an implosion of the derivatives market at any moment. […]
Most Americans don’t realize that Wall Street has been transformed into the largest casino in the history of the world. Most Americans don’t realize that the major banks are literally walking a financial tightrope each and every day.
All it is going to take is one false step and we will be looking at a financial crisis even worse than what happened back in 2008.
So enjoy this little bubble of false prosperity while you can.
It is not going to last for too much longer.
